Look What I Found

I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and look what I found! I have been told that they are not making this great stuff any more. That is what the ladies of my N' Stitches group are telling me. I was really dismayed! This is the best fiber stuff to add to CQ! So I bought these two off the clearence rack.

Ultra cool stuff right? Since there is so much of it................... It would take me a years worth of Sundays to use it.................... It has been a long time since I have had a blog give away or teaser.................... I am in the mood for shareing.

Any one who leaves a comment on this post between now and Friday January the 22nd, will get a yard of each of these fibers!

My step-daughter has a scarf made out of that kind of yarn (and refused to let me "just cut off a little bit" even though I begged and pleaded. So please enter me in the draw too. I would love to use some of that on the red color study bolcks! Thank you so much for thinking of us and sharing!Donna D

Are they discontinuing all the colors or just these beautiful ones? I have some but not these so please.....add me to the mailing list! I will be looking for this stuff all over the place as it makes great seaweed and bushes and so many other things. Thanks for the heads up. Hugs.

Lyn, I can't believe I missed it. I actually did read your post, but didn't see the giveaway part. The yarns are very nice and I'm sad to see them go. However, thank you for sharing a little history with us

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
